This recommendation raised eyebrows among many on the right, who argued that it illustrated the Democrats’ lasting relationship with what they deem “woke nonsense.” As evidence of this relationship, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) recently opened its summer meeting in Minneapolis with a land acknowledgment that declared the area to be “stolen land.” This move is indicative of a broader trend within the party that appears resistant to change…
